§ 7-1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • This chapter is established to enable single-family dwelling units of historic significance to conduct bed and breakfast operations as defined in section 38-5. This chapter is enacted on the basis of the public policy that supports the city as a tourist destination for persons interested in the architectural and historic significance of the city's single-family structures. This chapter also focuses on the need to provide an incentive for owners to continue occupancy and maintenance of historic structures. This chapter emphasizes protection to neighborhoods with the provision of standards that prohibit nuisance and detrimental change in the single-family character of any site proposed for a bed and breakfast operation.
